Talk Marvel To Me Bi-Weekly Series

I got together with a few of my fellow Marvel obsessed bloggers to put together a bi-weekly series. We’re sharing a little something from our favorite Marvel movies (MCU) leading up to the big one coming in APRIL- yeah, did you see that? Marvel changed the date of the Infinity War release!

Britni at Play, Party, Plan is chatting about Hawkeye today and how you can pull off a Hawkeye Disneybound of your own. Maybe she will mention his biceps, maybe not. Who knows? (I totally would because, dannnng, yo!)

Who is the Scarlet Witch in Marvel Cinematic Movies?

She’s pretty bad A!

When we meet Scarlet Witch, she’s holding a big grudge against Tony Stark and she has deadly weapons at her disposal to make him pay. Wanda is one part of twin siblings orphaned when a Stark Industry bomb crashed into their home.

The Scarlet Witch gets her name because her mind is her weapon: she can move things and influence people with just a look and some cool hand movements.

She’s one tough opponent!

Why do we love Scarlet Witch?

Her story is compelling and she’s been through a lot in her short life.

She’s kind- when she’s not throwing things at your head, anyway.

During Captain America: Civil War we get to know her a little more deeply. I enjoyed watching her become friends and maybe more (?) with Vision.

Scarlett Witch is played by actress Elizabeth Olsen in the MCU. Here’s Olsen giving the Scarlet Witch backstory for the non-comic readers amongst us!

Dang. That’s a lot of baggage!

We’re going to see Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch on the big screen in Avengers: Infinity War in April. I hope (I suspect!) we get a little more of that Vision love story played out on screen.

From Marvel.com:

The Scarlet Witch can tap into mystic energy for reality-altering effects; this power was formerly limited to the creation of “hex-spheres” of reality-disrupting quasi-psionic force to cause molecular disturbances in a target’s probability field, resulting in spontaneous combustion, deflection of objects in flight, and so on. She later became able to alter reality on a far greater scale, creating entire armies of enemies from nowhere. Although the Scarlet Witch has been trained in basic sorcery techniques, she lacks the specialized mystic training required to fully control her power.

Scarlet Witch Marvel Raspberry Jam Cupcakes

I totally think the backstory goes with this sweet treat.

No, really, follow me here.

Cupcakes are bad (for you- like Wanda at times) but also oh so good (in your mind!).

Err… I don’t know, let’s just pretend this works for the sake of argument!
